Robin Wright goes public with Ben Foster romance

Sean Penn’s ex-wife Robin Wright went public with her romance with actor Ben Foster on Saturday when they walked their first red carpet together at an awards ceremony celebrating the best in Off-Broadway theatre.

The actress, 47, has been dating Foster – who is 14 years her junior – since early last year, and they finally decided to make their public debut as a couple at the Lucille Lortel Awards in New York at the weekend.

However, it appears the stars were not comfortable putting their relationship on full display for press photographers.

A source tells the New York Post’s Page Six column, “They actually ran off the carpet because all the camera flashes overwhelmed them.”

Wright’s divorce from Penn was finalized in 2010 after 14 years of marriage.
